LOWER (INNER) TRIGRAMS
Consider the inner position first as it symbolizes the seeker who is confronted by some issue. This particular inner trigram classifies the seekers attitudes and intentions then provides some guidance as to what they should or might be. These yang trigrams refer to the adept's role while the yin trigrams to the masters.
CH'IEN, The Creative: The adept. the seeker's intention to influence his or her environment.
The lesser yang trigrams:
CHEN, The Arousal: The adepts intention to initiate, to begin, to create something new.
KAN, The Abyss: The adepts intention to control, seeking to change or to resist change.
KEN, The Mountain: The adepts intention to terminate, to end, to close what has existed.
Yin trigrams in the lower position.
K'UN, The Receptive: The master as he accepts influence from another source, known or unknown.
Summarized:
SUN, The Wood or Wind: Participation as the master accepts subordination to an external source.
LI, The Fire or Clarity: Perception or discrimination through which the master characterizes an influence.
TUI, The Joyous: Acceptance as the master recognizes the whole implied by the influence.
This is the inner or lower trigram positions.
